Mesoscytina woodsi sp. nov.

(Figs 7–8)

Material. Holotype tegmen QM F58698 +, Gayndah, collected by K.J. Lambkin. One other tegmen: Gayndah: QM F58699.

Description. Tegmen 5.9 mm long, 2.2 mm wide (holotype data only), length/width 2.7; R distinctly angulate basally, at this point costal space narrower than space between R and M; RA strongly inclined; distal ¾ apparently generally darkly suffused (more apparent in counterpart of holotype).

Notes. M. woodsi is distinguished from the previous two species by its smaller size and the more angulate base of R. The second specimen is the apical two thirds of a tegmen, and although poorly preserved is identical in size and dimensions to the holotype. Because of its poor preservation, however, it is not designated a paratype. The specific name honours former GSQ palaeontologist Jack Tunstall Woods who, in 1962, identified the original small collection of insects from Gayndah and insightfully noted that “their diversification suggests that the locality may be worthy of exploitation for these fossils” (Woods 1962).
